Butler's solution was to rename the restaurants once again in 1959 - this time to Denny's Coffee Shops, using another name he chose because it sounded close enough to “Danny.” (Menus from 1960 even featured both names, Jezak's daughter once showed to L.A. Mag.)

What do you think of when you think about the quintessential "all-American" breakfast? Denny's, the popular 24/7 diner, would like to be the first name that comes to mind. After all, the chain doesn't bill itself as "America's diner" for nothing.

Burger Den and Melt Down are ghost kitchen brands owned and operated by Denny's.

Denny's is selling a T-shirt as part of a Black Friday promotion that might only cost $5.99, but is really worth more than $2,000. That's because it's a ticket to a free Everyday Value Slam meal every day for a year.

Denny's was founded by Harold Butler and Richard Jezak, who opened Danny's Donuts in Lakewood, California, in 1953.

Go big or go home! Denny's brings back its iconic SUPER SLAM - a mammoth $9.99 meal that is hailed as 'America's BIGGEST breakfast' (and contains a whopping 1,950 calories)

What's a ghost kitchen? Ghost kitchens are essentially restaurants without the dining space. Their focus is to sell and fulfill online food orders for delivery using third-party apps like Grubhub, UberEats, and DoorDash, or with their own delivery operation. As a result, they typically have no visible storefront.

A ghost kitchen is a commercial kitchen that makes meals for delivery only. These operations don't have visible physical presences. Instead, they operate in the digital space. You'll find their “ghost menus” - menus that are only available for delivery - on food delivery apps.
